The option in > "Project Settings => Compiler Settings => Linking => Target specific > options" is enough. The "obscure logic" prevents that -WG is passed to the compiler for invalid targets. Otherwise the compiler stops with an error. If I understand correct, then a Windows application without -WG is compiled as a console application and a writeln/readln should work. Right?
